  • a wind power plant usually has a plurality of wind turbines for converting wind energy to electricity. To supply electricity to the electricity end users, the wind power plant is connected to a power grid. However, before the wind power plant can be connected to a power grid, the wind power plant has to meet the requirements of electrical performance of the wind power plant specified by grid codes. One requirement is an initial response time of the wind power plant for various parameters such as voltage, frequency, active power and reactive power.
  • a wind power plant is often referred to as a group of wind turbine generators which are commonly connected to an electrical grid through a common connection point, also known as Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Additionally the wind power plant may comprise a power plant controller (PPC) and / or some sort of reactive power compensation equipment, such as Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs) or switch/switched capacitors, or others.
  • PPC power plant controller
  • STATCOMs Static Synchronous Compensators
  • switch/switched capacitors or others.
  • the wind power plant has a wind power plant controller which monitors a power grid voltage and compares the power grid voltage with an external setpoint.
  • a difference between the actual power grid voltage and the external setpoint e.g. an error signal
  • This command is sent from the wind power plant controller to the individual wind turbines which in turn will respond (e.g. produce more or less power in order to adjust the power grid voltage) upon receiving the command.
  • the error signal may be caused by a change in the actual power grid voltage or a change in the external setpoint.
  • the rise time is the time period starting upon detection of a change in the power grid voltage or a change in the external setpoint and ending as soon as the current-power injected by the actuators at the PCC reach 95% of the control reference (in some standards the way of measuring the rise time can be different, it starts from the moment the actuators start injecting until they reach 95% of the reference, note as well that 95% is indicative that the system almost reach steady state, so instead of 95%, it can be 90% or another value that can indicate that the system is almost in steady-state (measurement almost reaching the reference).
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a system for improving a rise time response for a voltage slope control in a wind power plant when reactive power reference is limited by a Power Factor (PF) set point or a reactive power limits both or even other limits. Furthermore it is an object to provide a power plant controller which is capable of providing better grid support during changes in reference setpoints. In addition it is an object to provide a controller that in most situations provides a signal response.

  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the gain is changed to an even higher value.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the method can detect oscillations in the system and thus prevent the gain to be so high that it will cause oscillation. Being able to detect oscillations at an early stage also means that the system can operate with a higher gain, than what normally would be used. If oscillations are detect the gain should be changed to base gain again, which is to be understood as the gain that would be applied with the Rise time function enabled.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the short circuit ratio of the electrical grid is taken into account when selecting the gain, both the present trigger state and the SCR are used in the gain adjustment.

  • a variable speed wind turbine generator which is used in at least one of the described embodiments and which is capable for being connected to an electrical grid 20 is equipped with the control system described.

  • the main control signals transmitted via the protocol are the active and reactive power setpoints, the available active and reactive power and status signals of the turbines.
  • a power meter (not shown in the Figures) is usually located in the PPC or can be remotely connected by a dedicated fast-optical fibre communication channel. Apart from some filtering functions, the power meter calculates the rms values of the feedback signals received from the sensors (PoM) 211. In addition, the power meter can record grid events, such as faults.
  • the reactive power compensation equipment is possible to be installed on the MV busbar 270 of the substation to increase available reactive power in the power plant.
